Community Tasting Note

rikipedia Likes this wine:

Monday, June 4, 2018 - Terroir-istes International - USA - California, Napa, Oakville (Cape Town Law offices): (Tasted Blind): A deep black-red colour. The nose is plush with a prominent presence of milk chocolate, tobacco, mocha and undergrowth—that hot cocoa but also old leather jacket quality. Modern and forward in style on entry, the wine is very plush in texture, almost succulent. Sweet fruits with exotic flavours, the fine-grained tannins are infused with sweet cinnamon, raspberry, darkish (70%) chocolate and cocoa powder. There is richness and warmth, generous ripeness and plenty of length. There is density to the tannins and excellent concentration with integrated spicy oak and vanilla. Some felt it was pretty extracted, and it became grippier in glass but to the advantage of the wine. They own their vineyards, so is estate grown fruit with 4-5 clonal selection vineyards, etc.
